For newcomers to network marketing or those who are considering switching companies or even joining an additional MLM opportunity, the multilevel selling review is an critical piece of info. The difficulty is to be ready to find a review that’s unprejudiced and objective, although some viewpoints and suggestions might also be helpful. This article references one or two review sites that offer info.

MLM Review Kings run by Brian Garvin and Jeff West offers a great review of many MLM opportunities along with, of course, their top recommendations. You can find the reviews divided up by categories or in alphabetical order on the right-hand side of the default page, as well as a large amount of information that might aid you as a network marketer.

NetworkMarketingReview.net offers a reasonably comprehensive list of MLM corporations that you might want to test out. You can find them all at the left-hand side of the site in alphabetical order along with some other interesting subjects which are pertinent to internet promotion and web marketing in general. Just this one post offers a treasure house of information. Also, its worth noting the overall view of the network marketing industry on this site is kind of negative. OnlineMLM Forum is one such forum as is MLM Forums. There is several web marketing and internet marketing forums which offer some discernment, although it could be rather subjective, into the internet marketing industry.

The network marketing industry always brings up extremely polar views. Some folk are very passionate about it, including top authors like Robert Allen and Robert Kiyosaki. It’s fascinating to notice that the mention of franchises not too long ago would have caused the same kinds of reactions.

Social marketers who are serious about building their firms should be reading and studying about business basics, the most recent sales and marketing methodologies, tactics for networking and business development, for example.

And a multi-level selling review is a handy place to start if you need to find out more about the industry generally as well as be informed about explicit companies.

My writing of this Site Sell Review was prompted by the overwhelming number of positive reviews that I found on the net from people who have used it. There is no other program that comes anywhere close to this program in providing insights on what you need to do to make your internet marketing business successful.

Developed by Dr. Ken Evoy, Site Sell comes in three volumes that guide you on the steps that you need to follow to make your business a real creator of money. Where other programs provide you with the basics of setting up your online business, Site Sell goes further and provides you with detailed information on how to build on the basic steps to make your business truly lucrative.

To achieve continued growth, you are guided on:

– Strategies of developing a product and how to position it
– Site development strategies that attract customers
– Traffic generation strategies.

With Site Sell, one of the biggest headaches that afflict most people venturing into online business is overcome. You are provided with information on how to select products that you can sell quickly to realize a profit so that you do not have to waste your time and energy trying to find out what is feasible and what is not.

Product choice and traffic generation, as I discovered before writing this Site Sell Review, are the biggest hurdles that an internet marketer has to overcome and the course provides 451 pages on how to generate traffic. Traffic generation is key to income generation and could actually make or break a business.

Ever heard of pre-selling?

Something else makes the course stand out and motivated me to write this Site Sell Review. The course explains in detail the concept of pre-selling which most other programs do not address. Pre-selling is a marketing strategy that, when properly utilized, will make visitors to your site willing to buy even before they reach your sales page.

The depth of this course puts other internet marketing courses to shame and it is highly recommended for those keen to see their online revenue grow in leaps and bounds.

Does it pay to have beautiful, elegant and high quality linens? Is this important to you? For some, I guess, it is really important. Just try to imagine having a newly built luxurious house in your community. The owner of it invited you for a dinner at their eye-catching crib. Eventually, as you enter in the so-called luxurious house, you’re bothered by its environment itself.

What am I trying to point out to you is that, it is important to have a touch of high quality linens and comfort wear for your house. So, before going further, what’s the entire buzz with Private Quarters?

Digging the company history, this direct selling-focused industry was founded last 2004 by Jeff Stroud and Wayne Selness, his partner which is originally from his father’s team up.

Long after Jeff Stroud discovered that in Direct Selling Association, there were no company selling bed and bath linens as its spotlight. This brought him the idea of having born this company, to continue his father’s tradition of selling quality home textiles, which then was sold and in the end closed.

From starting at 10, 000 square foot warehouse from a scratch, servicing a small group of independent consultants who held parties and in-home sales demonstrations at early 2004, to presently operated 50, 000 square foot facility in City of industry, California.

Residing at a fast growing, national business area in California, they are blessed with hundreds of independent PQ Comfort Consultants from different places selling millions of dollars of home textile.

Apart from the company’s history, I love to look at its values and mission, too, because this is where we perceive a company’s solidity in running the business. Mixed them up will create a relationship among the team’s success and future upbringings.

The Web offers unlimited opportunities for writers to make money from their writing skills. You can create and write blogs, sell articles, sell reviews and much more. It’s just a matter of getting started and following the simple process I’ll outline for you in this article.

Not a writer? Of course you are. If you’ve been writing email messages and reports for your day job, you qualify as a writer. A writer is just someone who writes.

So let’s look at the truth about selling your writing services online. Here it is in a nutshell: you must have something to sell, and you must have a Web site at which you promote your writing services.

Let’s look at this in four easy steps:

1. You must have a Web site to sell your writing services

If your eyes are rolling up in your head at the scary thought of creating a Web site, relax. There’s nothing scary about creating a blog on Blogger, for example. (Do a Google search for Blogger if you’re not familiar.) A blog is a Web site, and if you can write an email message, or use a word processor, you’ve got all the skills you need to set up a blog on Blogger.

2. Create samples so prospects can see the type of writing services you offer

Your next step is to decide what writing services you’ll offer. As stated, you can write articles and reviews, and these are easy options for you to get your feet wet.

Write a couple of articles and reviews, and post them on Blogger as your writing samples. Your samples should be around 400 words – there’s no need to write long screeds: Web writing tends to be shorter than print writing.

You can also add a “Hire me to write for you” note in the sidebar. This alerts people that you’re open to taking on writing jobs.

3. Add a way for people to contact you on your site

I’m constantly amazed at the number of writers for hire who’ll set up elegant sites and blogs, but totally neglect to mention that they’re available to write for others. Worse, even if a potential customer was psychic, and worked out that this writer was available, there’s no way for the customer to make contact.

Add your email address to your site’s sidebar, and create a “About” page, with a small bio. Add your email address to the bio, too.

When you’re offering your writing services, you must make it as easy as possible for people to both know exactly what you want them to do, and then for them to do it.

Writers are in high demand online, and you’ll be amazed at the numbers of clients who contact you when you make it easy for them to do so.

4. Finally, advertise and promote your site

Your final step in selling your writing services online is to advertise and promote your site. There are endless options for self-promotion online. One of the easiest ways is to advertise on Craigslist, because it’s popular and free.

So that’s the truth about selling your writing services online: you must have something to sell, and your Web site is the venue at which you sell it.

If your are an affiliate wanting to promote products online, and did not consider the art of soft selling to boost your affiliate commissions, you are probably behaving like the sales man who knocks on people’s doors only to get them slammed shut more often than not and because people do not like being sold to, they would naturally back away from you.

In online terms, there is nothing worst than not knowing the best course of action when it comes to promoting products and services. What do you think it’s going to happen when you blast emails to every person on your lists or put links around the forums? Let alone spam article directories with sales pitches for unrelated programs and services?

On the other hand, when your prospects are actually interested in buying something and they seek and get a second opinion from another customer or friend, who have already bought the product or know about it, they would more readily want to buy from you in this case than when you were simply acting as a hard sales person.

The fact is that people buy into people and this principle is real also on the web. So when someone gives an opinion about somebody else and his services or products, the results is much more powerful than selling face to face. This form of referral is what is known as soft selling and it can be achieved mostly through reviews of products and services or from word of mouth of course.

If you write reviews about services or products that you have or know about and post these articles all over the web, provided they contain the most targeted keywords possible, the search engines will pick them up and index them high in the rankings. Clearly then, these reviews will give your products a lot of exposure to create traffic to your sites and thus boost your commissions.

This is not going to work very well for highly targeted very competitive words where the big companies are already spending huge amounts of cash on back links to stay at the top of the rankings but if you go after the long tail keywords that target derivatives of the main expensive keywords or subsets of the niches you are in, followed by “review”, you can go to the top of the rankings as well to give you the chance of picking more commissions.

Soft selling a product then can be done very well by recommending it, after you have used it yourself, know about it through comments on forums or by studying the benefits given in its sales letter. In other words, you are doing a review of it and highlighting what the product can do for your customers as well.

In the soft selling reviews that you make, you will include the links to the merchant’s product, in addition to what you discovered about the product and how its benefits far out weight any minor faults that you find. That is why you recommend it, since it worked for you and you know it will work for everyone else. Oh, and use at least twice the link to the merchant in your article review.

Tell your audience how their success online will reflect how well they can position themselves against their competition and how the services and products that you recommend will help them achieve that status. When you demonstrate what the products that you soft sell to your customers can do for them, they are bound to take action to try them out.

Remember that these articles reviews type of soft selling can be sent to the social networks. Yes use the main ones at least; just Google the top 10 and shoot them these review-articles type of soft selling recommendations. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the amount of targeted traffic that this tactic generated for you, making you lots of sales for your online business.

Use the article directories as well. Again, find out the top 10 and post these review-articles that at least include in your bio your affiliate links for the products that you promote. There may be some directories that may not allow you to do that so it is best to look at their terms and conditions first.

If you also send shortened reviews of products in your auto responder, this alone can multiply your sales as your own customers will trust your recommendations for the products they are after.

You actually can make money out of the article-review type of recommendations you create. When you have a good number of them, you could set up a review site and sell them in group form or individually. There is a lot of potential for these reviews when you packaged them in a themed review type site.

Think about the millions of searches going through Google at any time with people thinking about getting products and not knowing if they are good for them. See? Many of them need a final push to make that decision to buy and you can provide them the answer with your social proof and action taken recommendations to buy.

Reselling your college books can be a nasty business. There’s nothing worse than waking up the morning after a most-likely failed final, hungover (Am I the only one who pregames their finals?), only to find out that the books which you paid over $1000 for at the beginning of the semester will be bought back by your campus bookstore for $62.50. Actually, I can think of several things that are worse, but they all involve Vaseline and peanut butter and probably aren’t relevant to this article.

Can anything lift someone in this situation out of such a deep pit of despair, even if the walls of this pit aren’t coated with Vaseline and/or peanut butter? Luckily, a knight in armor of varying shininess has emerged on the scene, waving a Vaseline-and-peanut-butter-free banner that reads “eCampus.com”. This hero of a website offers some incredible buyback options for students looking to sell their college books and textbooks, paying truly outstanding amounts of cash to students for their used books. Here’s some of the reasons I’m so ecstatic about it:

High buyback prices. Lately I’ve started mentioning eCampus.com’s book buyback prices instead of my roommate when I’m asked to come up with “things that are consistently high”. The money that eCampus pays for college books is the most I’ve seen thus far for a single website, and their generosity ranges from small books to whopping textbooks. Sure, the prices they offer are still most likely less than half the price of a new book, but if you’ve bought your books already used then you might even have the opportunity to make money. I’ll pause here while you pick the pieces of your blown mind up off the floor.

Easy shipping. eCampus, being the gentle giant that it is, has taken the extra step to offer free shipping to all of the students selling them books. Just print out the free shipping label they provide and you’re good to go – all that’s left is finding a box. Admittedly, finding a box can be difficult, but when finding a box is your biggest concern you’re normally doing pretty well for yourself. Unless you’re homeless, of course.

20% in-store credit bonus: Much like breast implants, I can’t really tell if this one is a pro or a con. eCampus offers the option of increasing what they pay you by twenty percent if you decide to opt for in-store credit rather than just cold cash. So, if you’re planning on buying books for next semester through eCampus, definitely go for the in-store credit option. However, if you’re thinking of looking elsewhere for your college textbooks, or if your beer funds are running a bit low (they always are), you might want to just stick with straight-up money.

In appreciation for eCampus.com’s awesome book buyback program I’ve composed a short poem:

Even though there is a booming number of Forex Robots in the internet that today, we can actually say that, not everything of this robot is needed. Some might people think that, though there is so much Forex Robot, each of these robots works specifically on a trader; not everything in the software is suitable for us. So, delve more time in looking for that Forex Robot that is customized only for you, because in such a way, you might be confused with the use of the Forex Robot; there is a big possibility that it might ruin your business even if they work well with other people.

This, in fact, can never be the best sit situation, that you would have a hard time searching for the robot that would specifically meet your needs. Traders now are having a long time from reading reviews, and make comparisons on the programs found on the software. This can be a good thing for you, if you would a good time now in looking for software than can somehow meet your trading techniques, and for you to be able to compare every inch of the Forex Robot with the other. Even if, there are a lot of good things that were said about a certain robot, one might actually ask if they are true. Surely, to find out is to research very well on the Forex Robot that you wanted to purchase for you not to be scammed.

Reviews about robot software act as guide. In this case, you would be aided in such a way that you can now pick that correct robot for you. In any case that you chose a Robot, these reviews are here for you to check if they can work well for you, and make you more money, rather than by just ruining your precious investment. Vendors of these Robots posts some reviews about them on their websites, for you to read them, and actually follow them for you to have a god set-up for the system.

There are certain characteristics that we can delve into for us to see which robots are the right ones for you; reviews help you out in choosing. The following that are listed below would help you from differentiating a good review from a bad one.

Firstly, some reviews would only say good thing about a Forex Robot, never the bad thing. This would just tell you that everything about the robot is good for you, which is really not. So, in a way, maker of this software just give away these reviews, for you to buy the product. It is not actually a review; it’s a selling review, for you to just read all the good stuff about the robot. You can’t seem to see any flaws in their product. In any case, good reviews always tell everything about the robot, even the bad and the positive thing about them; for you to avoid buying the scams.

And also, check the hyperlink of the main page of the review you are reading. A good review is often less in hyperlink. Some maliciously sold product s usually has so many hyperlinks on them, like on every sentence you can see hyperlinks; this can be really annoying.

And lastly, don’t read reviews with so much exclamation point. These are just claims, often leading to scams. The best Forex Robot does not depend on ranking, or saying that they are number one, but on the good reviews written about them and some comments that were said about them.

There are so many Forex Robots out there, and also reviews. The best of the best Forex Robot are from a respectable websites. In such a way that you would have a good review, there you can see the best Forex Robot.

For budding writers looking to earn money on the internet, one way to break into the market is by writing book reviews and selling them to websites that need them. If you read on a regular basis, you know that what you read almost always leaves you with one impression or another – why not write about your impressions and earn money while you do so.

For some reason, most people who want to write for the internet tend to skip straight to articles and web content. Very few actually take the time to write a good book review. One of the reasons for this is that sites like Helium and Associated Content are well known article content sites that offer sure money for anyone who can write (and attract an audience to read what they write).

Nevertheless, there is something to be said for writing serious book reviews. People read them before they buy new books, and many people regard book reviews as invaluable tools for weeding out poorly written and irrelevant literature of any genre. Selling reviews is a somewhat more time consuming task than selling articles, however.

When it comes to book reviews, there are fewer options than there are for articles, though the articles that do exist can sometimes lead into steady work for a single client. Submitting your review to a magazine or newspaper, for example, can sometimes earn you an occasional guest reviewer stint, or even a full time job as a staff writer. If your skills are of a high enough quality, your writing may even earn you a job writing other content for the publication.

So, if you’re one of those people who regularly burn through the pages of a book like the front cover’s on fire and you’re racing the flames to see how the story ends, try writing and submitting your own review of a book you’ve recently read. You might surprise even yourself.

Blogging has become a successful home business for many people. It’s an easy business to start, because there are few or no start up costs. However, if you want to make money, you must have something to sell on your blog – create a “sales” blog.

Although content-heavy blogs on which you sell advertising do make money, these blogs take time before they become profitable, simply because you need a lot of content. How much content? Since blogging has become mainstream, and there are many content blogs, it may take at least 500 to 1000 posts on a content blog for profitability.

“Sales” blogs, which sell products or services, can be profitable with as few as ten to 20 blog posts.

So aim for a sales blog, so your blog becomes profitable more quickly.

Before you start blogging, you need a plan. Create your plan first, before you create your blog. It’s difficult to make money with a blog which hasn’t been set up as a money-maker from the start.

Let’s look at four easy steps to developing a profitable sales blog.

1. Decide what you’ll sell on your blog

To make money, your blog must sell something: a service, or a product. Many bloggers sell affiliate products from their blog.

If you’ve been blogging for a while, you can sell your blogging services from your blog.

2. Make a list of the products, or services which you’ll sell

If you’re selling as an affiliate, make a list of products you’ll sell – reviews of these products will form the basis of your blog articles.

Many affiliate bloggers sell lots of products on a single blog. However, it will be more profitable to divide the products you’re selling into topics; then create a new blog for each topic. This means that each blog can be more focused, and this will mean more traffic.

If you’re selling your own blogging services, set up the blog to do this. Write articles promoting each service you provide. Essentially, the blog becomes your online portfolio.

3. Start blogging, but keep SALES at the forefront of your mind

Next, you can start writing blog posts. However, plan your posts. Planning is vital for a sales blog. For example, let’s say you’ve created a sales blog to sell affiliate products related to pets.

You’ve collected ten affiliate products. Plan articles related to those ten products. You can create review-style articles, as well as general content articles with a link to one of your affiliate products.

If you want to get hired as a blogger, then this must be obvious on your blog, and on every post you write – write several articles promoting each of your services.

4. Promote your blog

Finally, it’s time to promote your blog. There are many ways in which you can promote your blog: with classified advertising, Pay Per Click advertising, and article marketing.

How you choose to promote is up to you. However, do remember that you must promote your blog.

So there you have four easy steps to making money with a sales blog. When you plan your blog for sales from the start, your blog will be profitable for you from the start.

David Ogilvy’s classic How to Create Advertising That Sells Review Part 3 looks at rules eighteen through twenty-seven. It starts with the maxims about TV ads and moving to the maxims of ads in print. The advertising medium isn’t necessarily what’s important here. These maxims pay big and offer a proven history. Get the most out of each advertising dollar. Apply these maxims, regardless of the chosen medium.

Rule 18: Music

Even though, according to Ogilvy, most won’t believe this, music behind the ad in commercials decreases the consumer’s ability to remember ads. Not good, right?

Rule 19: Standups

Stand-up Pitches work if “delivered” with honesty says Ogilvy.

Rule 20: Sore Thumb

The average viewer watches more than 20,000 commercials in a year. Desperate times call for desperate measures! Ogilvy says brand it and make it one of a kind. A symbol (like imperial’s crown) or even a mnemonic device can be used.

Rule 21: Animate?

Cartoons really sell to children. Children don’t hold the power of the pocketbook however. It’s critical to know the audience. Cartoons and animation doesn’t turn over to customers when adults are the target. Grown-ups can’t “identify” with animation. This makes it less persuasive.

Rule 22: Save it!

Find out WHY an ad didn’t work. Then, repair it. Once fixed, it’s ready to go to work for real!

Rule 23: Factual vs. Emotional

In the big scheme of things, commercials which offer facts about the product or service will rank as more effective than ones using emotions. Ogilvy’s example was Maxwell House Coffee. It was very emotional and a huge success. It goes both ways, but stats say go with the facts.

Rule 24: Attention Grabbers

Commercials which open with a fast, grab the attention of viewers, and tend to hold their attention significantly better to the end than the quiet-start commercials.

What Works Best in Print…

As part of this How to Create Advertising that Sells Review Part 2, we’ll move to print advertising. We’ll look at what works and what does not.

Rule 25: 80/20

What’s 80/20? Sadly, only twenty percent of viewers will go past headlines in order to reach the content. Since eighty percent DO read the headlines, the sale takes place in the headline! There’s a conversion rate which is 5 times greater than not creating a dynamic headline. Ogilvy always used his company name and gave promise in the headline.

Rule 26: Benefits

Headlines giving a solid benefit get more sales over those that do not. Human nature makes anyone want to find out what’s in it for them! This is one of the strongest maxims in this How to Create Advertising that Sells Review Part 3 to be found.

Rule 27: News

People are curious about new products or service. They want to know which products have been changed or improved, giving reason to read on. The stats say headlines that tell sell.

Review in Summary

That completes this next part of David Ogilvy’s How to Create Advertising that Sells Review, part 3 of 4. Television and print are obviously very different advertising mediums. However, there is much to learn and apply from both arenas… Remember: Say ‘No’ to background music. Stand-ups work. Stand above the crowd. Fix whatever isn’t converting and try it again. Facts sell more than emotion. Grab the viewer’s attention right out the door. Power is in the headline… don’t mess it up! Show the consumer “what is in it for them”… give the biggest, strongest benefit inside the headline. Finally, share newsy points about what’s being sold will work extremely well.

Part four of How to Create Advertising that Sells Review will conclude more million-dollar truths by Ogilvy and show what works and what doesn’t. If viewer’s attention isn’t grabbed or demanded, the sale is lost! Part 4 promises to end with a bang, so keep looking.
